Concussion problems in the NFL

Two Sundays ago the NFL fields were littered with the victims of some vicious hits. Some of the hits were clean, some not so but to me the issue is less if it is a clean hit or not but what hits are deemed acceptable.

Every Sunday, every game you will see hit after hit where players hit helmet first. An argument can be made that the game is so fast that players cannot control where they end up when they hit.

My eyes see it differently however, these are the greatest athletes in the world, they can control their bodies. To me at this point if a player hits his opponent with the part of his body above the shoulders first it should be a penalty.

The game has been changed over and over in the last 20 years. It can withstand this change too.
